Isbn: 9781107672642 - nearest star: the surprising science of our sun (9 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. How did the Sun evolve, and what will it become? What is the origin of its light and heat?

Having observed the Sun using both ground-based and spaceborne instruments, the authors bring their extensive personal experience to this story revealing what we have discovered about phenomena from eclipses to neutrinos, space weather, and global warming.
